Downsizing for Blade 2 and hunting for smaller floor standers
I live in apartments and love small , tall, thin, powerful speakers. I went from Dynaudio C2 to Blade 2 and am in absolute love with it. However, this whole thin and tall thing has scratched a new itch of me and I kept wanting to go leaner and smaller. I have thought about Beolab 28 which seems to be going for the extreme and also maybe the LS60, which feels like a downgrade in sound quality. So I wonder if there is something else I should consider to make my speaker smaller without significantly compromise full range sound quality.
+1 @hilde45 I had a pair of Ascend Acoustic Sierra towers with raal tweeters too, for like 7 years. They were absolutely wonderful, wide clear sound, not tiring, with amazing bass for their size. I just moved to larger speakers to get a more immersive sound in my then new house of stereo. And David at Ascend is the nicest owner you will ever meet. |
+1 @steakster +1 @maxwave I also think Marten Parker Trio could be perfect. I heard the small Parker Duo recently and they were great but if you want bass then the Trio should be way better.

Thanks for everyone’s advice! to add more context, my budget can not exceed $20k, and my sound preference is top to bottom clean, relaxing, slightly sparkling and neutral with strong emphasis on mid bass impact (which is basically Blade 2 to me). I also like sleek and unique designs as my home decor is very minimal and industrial. |
